Cahulin,



Do you happen to remember which county in Ireland that pirate station was
in?



I have been to Ireland many times, mostly to Galway and to Cork. I love it
over there.

Those guys are more like us than most of us are. Let me rephrase that:

They are almost as American as we are.



By that I mean that when they" work", they work their F'n asses off. And
when they "don't work": they "don't work" their F'n asses off. I can tell
you stories of a city crew taking 10 days to install 25 feet of sidewalk
because it had to be "spot on". I can also tell of engineering tasks that
would take 10 days in the states being done in 2 days over there. Of
course, balancing everything, I can give examples of 3 day tasks taking 3
months, so let's not go overboard here.



I love that place. The food is great. The beer is: well ****. its Irish
beer! It's like German beer. Only it's better, because it is in English!



And the woman: OMG.. I've been married 22 years to my best friend who is
a red headed, blue eyed, California girl. BUT ****. Those black haired,
and red headed, and green eyed girls over there make me wish I was 20 again!



Their sports are strange though. They have this game called Hurling, which
oddly enough has nothing to do with drinking. And they have football, which
is really soccer, but it is called Irish football, and it is different from
Australian or Continental Football, and has absolutely NOTHING to do with
American football. Except that they have riots, and free-for-all's , after
a big game just like everyone else. They now get American sports on
satellite (Sky-TV) so they are starting to watch Americana football and they
beginning to like it. That's ok, except they are beginning to like American
beer as well.



Oh, they are all living on this little island which is 1/3rd the size of
California and which has 4 million people, as opposed to 25 million in Ca.
They tell me that there are 4 million Irish people in Ireland and 25 million
"Irish" people in the USA, mostly in Boston. They have this strange sort
of arithmetic over there.



So: what about the Irish pirate station? Are they still around?

I know three people whom are originally from Ireland and they live in
England.I have never been to Europe before.(Uncle Sam sent me to Nam in
1964) I suppose what you say about Ireland and the Irish is true.I am
Scotch Irish (more Scotch and more Irish than the Scots and Irish
themselves,This is TRUE) I looked in my Wal Mart Rand McNally Road Atlas
(2001 Updated Version www.randmcnally.com) and it says
California,Population: 33,867,600 Land Area,155,973 Square Miles.I did a
www.dogpile.com for, CIA World Factbook Ireland
and Ireland is about the same population and land area as South
Carolina.Ireland,Population: 3,969,558 (July 2004 Estimate) Land
Area,68,890 Square Miles.South Carolina,Population: 3,863,905.Land
Area,30,111 Square Miles.I live in Mississippi (born and raised and I
wouldn't trade Mississippi for all of the rest of the World,Period!) and
Mississippi,Population: 2,766,500.Land Area,46,914 Square Miles.Ireland
is a little over half of the Square Miles Land Area of
Mississippi.Pirate Radio isn't anything new,it has been going on for
many,many years.As far back as the 1950's,I have known there is Pirate
Radio in Ireland.
You can do a www.dogpile.com for,Pirate Shortwave Radio in Ireland
There might be something there.Ruiari Roddy (Ruiari is
pronounced,Rewery) is an Officer at the Cork,Ireland,Examiner newspaper
(TCM,Thomas Crosbie Media) (Ruiari used to have his own webpage on the
internet,he called it,startofauthority,I guess he stays so busy most of
the time,he let his webpage drop) and the Examiner online used to have
an online chat room.I used to go to that online chat room all the time
and raise hell,but I think they recently closed that chat room down,not
because of me though.A few years ago,a lady in Idaho decided to visit
Ireland in the month of November.When she got back home in Idaho,she got
back in that chat room and said she spent most of her time in Ireland
hanging on to the sides of buildings because those winds over there were
about to blow her away! I had told her before the best time to visit
Ireland is in the month of May.They have Gales (what we call Hurricanes)
over there sometimes and sometimes,those Gales can last for two or three
weeks,or more.
